anyone seen the McCosker's flasher they have in LA DD. Anyone think it may be a McCoskers/Angular hybrid. The fins just don't seem as rounded as they normally are.

The fins certainly aren't as rounded as they normally are in mckoskers, but this fish was collected in the Maldives. P. angulatus is not found anywhere near there, and there are no other flasher species found there. I think it is a mckosker that is displaying recessive traits.

Completely agree :)

Should be fine; an acclimation box would be advised.
